Lake Orta, Novara, Piedmont, Italy

In the enchanting hillside locality of Artò, a short distance from the beautiful Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso, lies this spacious and bright residence awaiting new life. Located on a small square, the property is accessed through imposing ancient wooden gates leading into a private courtyard. The main building, spread over two floors, is divided into two apartments. On the ground floor, there is a living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen, from which the cellar can be accessed. The view over the courtyard exudes an old-world charm, and the room with stained glass windows and frescoed walls could host a living room or relaxation space for convivial lunches and evocative and private summer evenings. The external staircase leading to the upper apartment also opens onto a small terrace overlooking the square, where one could create a reading nook with an ancient flavor. On this floor, there is a large living room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, all with splendid windows opening onto the greenery. Beyond the courtyard, there is a garden with a small annexe, consisting of a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Here, the small garden allows for absolute relaxation in nature, and the possibility of having a separate structure can be useful if the property is to be used for hospitality and tourist purposes. In the heart of the village, nestled in a setting of great charm and old-world flavor, this property can fully express its potential, presenting itself as a rare and precious opportunity.
